3 Year update on owning this car, I have beat the motor and driven the car really hard, tuned and everything to 400whp. Still 0 issues

[@YSoAggressive]

Most reliable bmw?

[@Nicholas-XXXXXXXX]

@@YSoAggressive Had it since 2018 May, still not a single issue.

[@3yqhd13]

can you tell me about the maintenance costs?

[@Nicholas-XXXXXXXX]

@@3yqhd13 so far ive only had to do coolant and oil changes once in a while as normal. like 90$ for oil change once every 6 months. I get away paying for 89 rated gas. about 20k miles on it rn and not one single issue plus i modded the car to 450 hp for about a year w downpipe. Took it all off eventualy and still no problems after beating the motor and driving hard. had a tire pop but the runflats saved me. Those are expensive tho, about 900$ for a runflat but I chose to get regular tires and take the risk of not having runflats

[@3yqhd13]

@@Nicholas-XXXXXXXX I would do the same about the runflats. I noticed you've got low miles which explains how well the car's been holding up. So I was wondering if you'd recommend getting one at higher miles like 60k? that's what's in the market now, 340i and 440i's are pretty rare here.

[@alexsosna7180]

we need more of these style cars. it functions like a hatchback but it’s so much sexier

[@Ben-sk7ey]

Yeah this and the S5 sportback are great options

Even though my 440 GC is sitting on my driveway, I still find myself watching videos of it.

Watched this vid so many times for the last weeks ;) good video. Finally got a 440i xdrive 05/2018 myself yesterday. Was smiling each second on the 400km way home ;)

Truly A beautiful new vintage car

[@joaomarinho6859]

Amazing car!

[@aneeqhassanbukhari]

Nice review Max

[@vyvynylification]

I have this car, same colour but 2016 and black interior. I agree with everything you said. My car's year doesn't offer the digital dash yet, and sometimes I think it's a bad thing when I sell this thing but for personal use I also prefer the analog dash like you. I feel like the only thing my car lacks is heated seats. However, the dealer + car itself gave me so much confidence compared to other ones I went to see, that I decided to ignore that. It's good sounding (yes, with stock exhaust too), comfortable even with the M sport stuff (You feel bumps but not in a harsh way), and sporty, edgy and sharp when you want that.

[@Spelleh]

great review, loved it so much i bought the F36 430D xDrive M Sport and i have to say, its performance is outstanding.

[@johngaudet6316]

I love the hatch, I've owned several Saabs and I could put my mt bike and camping gear in the back. Well now this looks like a cool sedan but has convenience of a wagon. Sweet! Maybe my next car.

[@cezarcristian2521]

Great video! How was the fuel consumption on the Autobahn and on the twisty road with your dinamic driving style? Thanks.

[@ced5960]

Very nice combo, great gar really.

[@romanbattan5934]

Was looking to buy two 440i XDrives for our company. Partner vetoed based on $80/year for Apple Car Play. Loved the car, but principle wins I guess. Not sure about a company that wants to charge annually for something that is literally free from every other car maker. C'mon BMW you can make money in other ways...

[@harryvirdi4095]

[@jaheinema]

It is impossible that that orange-looking interior isnt georgeous for a Netherlander

[@lampros2294]

AutoTopNL could you another video on the BMW X1 please...and show us more details pls??❤

[@esteemedenergy]

I love that interior, BMW does it best.

[@Papusiakk]

That's one of my favourite cars (excluding exotics) in my all time favourite color by any manifacturer (Tanzanite Blue). It's so cool you have the exact same one I'd go for! I would probably get it with RWD tho...

[@jimmyli6235]

Papusiakk rwd is so good. The launches and the acceleration just feel so much better. Awd is too tamed, you don't get the same feeling

Is this 4 wheel drive? Or like when u go sport + u go 2 wheel drive to drift ? Cuz I think it turns traction off right

I prefer this over a m4

[@stubones]

440i Xdrive is great. We only get RWD in the UK :( Come one BMW, at least give us the option.

[@kinjat561]

isnt RWD better for driving except traction requirements in winter? Im planning to buy one in germany but xdrive is going a bit out of budget so deciding on standart 440i MSport

nice video again, but in my opinion the digital instruments are only an option you can choose. Analog instruments are the "normal" option.

[@mikebuchner7781]

This is correct

[@bilalsabanc6320]

I'm living turkey, this car is a dream for me

[@Benbiard1983]

You can buy it with the M-performance power kit which brings it up to 360hp.

[@Benbiard1983]

I know, the advantage with the mperf kit is that it's keeps the waranty, for me personaly if anything happens at least I wouldn't have to worry about that. With the jb4 i know you can take it off as well but it's a bit more work. Remaping it is another story. He seems to say that no one has been able to remap the B58 engine.

[@DeanBaco]

It sounds and drives awesome, I can say that :)

[@oli31]

Forgot to mention the facelift has new LED taillights.

[@LjubanTomic]

How is constumption?

[@sonalihajong213]

I like the interior of BMW it's better than a Ferrari 😋😎

[@JRB41]

I’d get the normal coupe version, as the gran coupes rear seat is very cramped

[@cougargold]

If you render your video in after effects you can use a tool called warp stabilizer to eliminate bouncing ans swaying in your video.

[@jspope2008]

Why do they fuck the suspension up. Surly these days manufacturers can get a nice compliant ride with good handling!

[@rimmerblues1586]

my thoughts exactly, a lot of the BMWs i've tried lately has too much rebound - dampers too soft to match the stiff springs so bouncy ride especially after 20K+ miles/kms when they wear in. So then they try to get you to buy the "adaptive" then it's really too soft or too stiff! A compliant ride properly dampened passive set-up is not only comfortable but grips better too. Marketing...

[@ivanivanov3718]

Hallo, wie viele Kilometer fährt man mit einer Tankfüllung?

[@Jia1337]

Ah yes, someone else who thinks the digital cluster is pretty much useless compared to analog on a performance vehicle! Imagine digital gauges that lags on M cars, that would be a major turn off.

[@MiroR530i]

We will be missing the analog displays..icons of BWM

[@JE335]

This or LCI 340i xdrive? I know the difference, but would love an insight from you guys since I own a 340i that handles well, but the front body and wider body of the 4 series is getting to me. Consider both m sport.

[@franklinblue4475]

What did you choose?

[@mikebuchner7781]

Sorry, but you forgot some bigger changes......I bought one of those

[@andynowitz]

which year is the car?

[@ivanrebac565]

13:39-13:40 Spa Francorchamps

[@daCorasla]

Hi Max! is the interior noise level much worse than a g30 (5 series)?? please help, I need to decide :p

[@Rock-Bottem1982]

Jesus, you wanna give your car a few seconds to idle down before you throw it into drive. Thats a fabulous way to burn out your transmission quickly Also, their is a company that offeres a great program to tune a B58 that has 12 different stages, along with custom maps, its MHD tuning And the way you drive this car is criminal, this is a beat ride, and im sure you dont drive your personal cars like this daily, they wouldnt last long

[@amzmoney]

I have a 435 GC and drive it like I stole it almost every day. These engines want you to drive hard and makes for such a fun GT car. It can be comfortable when I want, but also edgy and sporty, especially with coilovers and an exhaust. Definitely not as fun to drive as my track build Honda SI, but man this car MOVES with a Stage 1 tune and a transmission tune. Why buy a fast car if you don't drive it fast?

[@LysergicCasserole95]

Blade ManX Yeah BMW really dropped the ball with that fake sound shit Although I'm sure they have turned it way down on the 40i models. They should give the option to turn it off completely

[@vyvynylification]

@@blademanx The m3 e92 sounded good, and the e46's intake sound is legendary, but as for noise, this generation with the B58 sounds beautiful. Full and warm/deep with the snorts on upshifts and subtle crackles on let-off. ALOT nicer than the m3/m4 which sounds more like 'just noise' to me.

[@hanifsimpson]

I can't wait to buy one of these next month. So I'll have an Audi S5 with a BMW 4 series GC in the driveway. I can't sell my Audi because I put too much damn money in it. Also, it's gonna have 600hp soon 😊

Look, I got an Audi A4 from 2001 at the moment (planning to get a new one this year). Past 100km an hour, I just hold the steering wheel quite tight so it won't go crazy. You let go of the steering wheel at 200 + and nothing happens. Dang it!

[@vyvynylification]

I own a 440i like this and one thing that stands out for me personally is how solid stable it feels. When I drive on highways it literally feels as if it's on tracks like a train. Dead straight no matter what. :)

[@SchytexGraphics]

@@vyvynylification At what speed do you feel like you're not really in control anymore and you need to slow down?

[@vyvynylification]

@@SchytexGraphics I'm honestly not joking: this car does not reach speeds at which it does that under normal circumstances. I haven't personally driven against the electronic limiter, but did reach speeds over 220 and it just doesn't feel sketchy at any point

[@SchytexGraphics]

@@vyvynylification You own an amazing car then :) The M4 has been my dream car for years now.

[@vyvynylification]

@@SchytexGraphics My dad had an M4. It sure attracts more of a crowd, makes louder, but not as good, noise (stock) and it's much better on a track. In the real world tho, this generation m3/m4 + with it's added power struggles with grip. I've done about 5 races now versus 5 different M4's and they were all nearly identical. starting at like 30kmh to 120kmh, there was 0 difference. 2 of those races were on highways, ~100-180kph and the difference there still isn't as big as i thought. obviously the m4 is the car you'd pick but there's good reasons to buy the 40i's. such as gran coupé and the insanely epic ZF8 + B58 combo and just cheaper/more subtle. it doesn't take much money to get equal power on these
